Blogger's Quilt Festival - Jewel Box Quilt

Well - this has caught me on the hop! I had no idea that the Blogger's
Quilt Festival was coming up until I saw an entry on another blog I
follow. For my entry, I decided to go with my Jewel Box Quilt which I finished in July.

It has no special story really, it's just a quilt I made when I set myself a challenge to see what I could make from a Jelly Roll and a Layer Cake. In the end I came to realise that one Jelly Roll and one Layer cake go a long way! I made this quilt, plus another that will be published in Homespun next year, a table runner for my daughter and then I gave the leftovers to a friend and she whipped up a quilt for her grand-daughter. It felt like the neverending supply of Bliss fabric!

So, Stats. I love stats.

Size - 55" x 71"

Thanks to Amy for putting together this wonderful event and to all of the generous sponsors! I am off to look at all of the quilty goodness from around the world.

This is really lovely. It's a patternthat I've had in the back of my mind for a long time as one that I'd like to make and now that I see it again I think that I might need to move it up a notch or two on the TO DO list.
